I love my bandit and would totally consider getting a new one as my next bike. That's really too bad it's not getting brought here. I like everything except for how they did the passenger pegs. Hopefully those are easily removable and not integrated with the rear sets.

Those that mention the CART and MotoGP bikes are forgetting that those are N/A numbers. Turbos are a whole different barrel of monkeys. I first saw that pick and thought to myself "that looks like "O Ring""... I hope the new busa has better styling than the 1st gen did.

F1 cars are around 21-22k right now. It'll be a while before they hit 30k. Anyone heard any horsepower or speed readings on it yet?

Well, a couple weeks into it and I'm doing fine. This is my first winter on a bike so it was a bit of temp. shock I guess. My gloves broke in a little so they're more flexible. My fingertips get cold but warm up quick once I'm done riding, whereas they used to get cold and stay cold. Even here I get ...

I waited 2 weeks once for them to replace a starter, it was under warranty otherwise I would've done it myself in 2 hours.

I'm riding in Phoenix, AZ and while you all might laugh, it's starting to get "cold" here, 40* (f) mornings. I went out and bought some insulated overpants and insulated gloves today cause my current leather stuff wasn't cutting it. I love the pants but I'm not sure the gloves are really cutting it ...

It's rev limit is probably influenced more by the rotating mass more than valves floating. The new R6 uses valve springs and goes to 17k so it's obviously not springs holding it back. Considering the mass of 2 cylinders displacing 1 liter (bigger bore and longer stroke than a 4 banger) and you start ...

My bike lately has has been hitting plateaus in the RPM range throughout acceleration. It's been 8k miles since I bought it used and I haven't had any valve adjustments or anything done. It's my only real means of transportation (40 mile commute in my 9mpg mustang is a waste of money) so I don't ...

I've never had a problem going through a drive through. I just have to yell a bit to order and then zip everything in my jacket.

I've heard of like 1" deflection but I've never really heard from someone who knows bikes.
